Romantic relationships. Women seem to try so much harder than men (mostly), and it's just sad and tiresome (to me) to hear them wondering what this action or that comment, text, or invitation means.

Home Improvement. I have no desire to learn how to fix or build anything as it takes too much effort.

Coffee. I can't stand the stuff. I could care less about the difference between regular coffee, lattes, espresso, ad nauseum. Nor do I care about whether Dunkin Donuts coffee is better than Starbucks or vice versa.

Fashion/makeup. As long as I look presentable and don't violate any nudity laws, I don't care about ruffles or if my eyeshadow matches my skin tone.

Video games. This isn't an issue among women so much, but plenty of guys can be big gamers (my boyfriend among them).

Edit: Forgot to add cars or anything that goes into them. Another one where it's more of an issue with men than with women. I don't care what kind of rims you get or how big they are.

I'm gearing up to spend the weekend with my extended relatives, between a kid's birthday party and Easter. This is what I'm facing...

Cars

Fishing

Video games--and I don't just mean like real gamer games, but also those stupid Candy Crush or Ruzzle or whatever people are playing these days, and what level you're at.

Major suburban brand trends, like Coach or Vera Bradley, where people seem to know so much about the different patters or styles and whatnot. Buy a bag because you like the bag, not because it's some popular status symbol. And if you're gonna care so much about the bag, why not spend a least a little of that effort and change out of your bootcut jeans and newbalance sneakers and men's tshirt, mkay? OK, sorry, I got totally carried away there.

Edited to add: how to save money on stuff I don't want to buy anyway. This always seems to be a major topic. "You know, if you drive to store X, and buy it there, and then go return it at store Y, and then take the receipt to store Z, and then mail in the rebate to address J, you can save 44% off of that $5,000 television you don't have space for!"

"I don't know! I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again!" -BART SIMPSON

I care nothing about sports either! Maybe this should half go in the confessions thread, but I know nothing either! I don't understand football at all. I admitted it one day and people went into shock....why you ask?

My brother has played football since I've been in middle school, I've been to every single of his high school games Cheered for him, He Played in college, went to the majority of his games, even road 16 hours to Penn State for a game.....I understood nothing. I still understand nothing.

The only sport I get is track LMAO.

This is primarily why I didn't play sports (other than track) in School, I didn't understand them they were too confusing, too many rules. People always ask me if I play sports even now because I have a muscular body naturally even when I don't work out/overweight and I'm like no, and sometimes people get offended or shocked like "really??...you don't play anything??", Like damn, is it really that serious. my ex was like "YOU'VE WASTED YOUR BODY I BET YOU COULD OF KILLED IN SOMETHING" ummmmmm...sorry?

I also don't get cars.

Video games, again I'm a fraud, people always assume I love video games, nope I grew up with only brothers and I watched them play video games, for me that was tv time, because they hogged the tv, so that's what I would watch so I know a LOT about video games but I would prefer to not play them. Unless its HP or like those lame baking games for children lol. OR SIMS.

So glad to read these responses! I was almost afraid to admit that I don't care at all about sports. People get so hot under the collar about all that. This bowl or that bowl puts me to sleep.

(I love the Olympics though for some reason.)

Thanks for chiming in, everyone who did.

Sports in general I am not interested in. I kind of like hockey, but I'm not a 'fan'. However, I also like watching the summer Olympics for some reason.

Animal rescue. That whole adopt-don't-buy thing. Leave me the eff alone...I'm going to buy all my puppies no matter what you say.

Stay classy, RCW.

Not to mention that if people actually did what rescuers preach and only adopted from rescue and shelters, we'd end up with almost nothing but badly bred pitbulls. No thanks. I'll stick to my well-bred puppies of breeds I actually want, obtained from small well-researched breeders. There's nothing inherently wrong or evil in obtaining pets from sources other than rescue and people shouldn't be made to feel guilty when they buy a puppy from a breeder.

I don't care about how fabulous your job is. It's a job. Is it WHO you are? Lawd help you. Retire and you will die. I can't wait to retire!!!!! I am who I am and I am not a job title or description.

Your sex life. Your past drug use. The fact that you are shocked I have never done an illegal drug in my entire life and never wanted to.

Anyone's fanatical political views. Don't care. I have made reasonable, intelligent decisions about my political views and your ranting is not going to change my mind. E.V.E.R.

Who Me? - you nailed my view on suburban trendy brands. Thank you for not making me explain it

Any reality shows because they are not reality, only for show.

I am not impressed by your wallet, what's in your wallet, etc. I am impressed by how you treat people. I am impressed by a sense of humor. If you have to tell me what your socio-economic class is then you have an issue I don't want to hear about. If you have an issue that I might can help with, tell me about it without pigeon-holing it into some ridiculous stereotype.

Watching sports on tv. Please just say no. I love to play sports. I will watch my kids play sports. Sports on tv. No thanks. Except the Olympics, which seems to be a trend in this thread.

Sports
Math
Kids
Real Housewives/The Bachelor
Sex and the City culture
Jimmy Choo (and the like) shoes
Clothes that cost more than I made last month
Mommy blogs
Anything religious or political you might be tempted to send me via email forward or chain letter.

If its a thread about what YOU do not care about why are some upset over what other people do not care about? There are going to be things you (gy) care about that others do not give a crap about. Sometimes this board just floors me because its a pick and choose what is ok for some to post and not others. It cannot be one and not the other!!
